Chapter 38: A load of nonsense

Robb had guessed that the two would come and ask him beforehand, so he thought of what to do. And now, he calmly made one of his arms dangles on the edge of the tub.

This action of his startled Little Yi. She thought Robb was getting out of the bath. She didn’t want to see a man’s naked body, so she quickly closed her eyes and said, “Hey, just talk, don’t suddenly get out of the tub and act like a ruffian.”

Robb smiled and said, "How did I even jump out of the tub? I only moved my hand, so don't make such a fuss because of nothing."

"Oh, that's fine then." Little Yi opened her eyes but was still too embarrassed to look over. She only glanced at Robb's side before seeing something clenched in Robb's palm.

“What are you planning to do?” She couldn’t help asking.

“I just want to explain how I became so powerful earlier. The thing I’m holding in my hand should be able to explain my strength from earlier.”

Little Yi also looked at the stone without blinking. Unlike the Baron, who was a berserker with limited magic knowledge and weak sensing capabilities. Most of the time, berserkers like the baron judge things by a sigh and their sixth sense.

However, Little Yi is a priest who deals with magic all year round, so she is much more magically capable than the Baron. She feels powerful power, overwhelming power from the gem.

Robb said solemnly, “Probably, maybe… maybe that’s right.”

The Baron swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "This.. this is really.. amazing! What on earth is this?”

Just then, a cry sounded, and then a figure appeared. The red-haired magician Xuelu jumped from the size. She pointed at the gem in Robb’s hand and shouted, “Oh, my God! It’s a cursed ruby. I can’t believe you have this thing. No wonder you were so strong just now.”

Looking like an Oscar-winning actor, Robb said, "What is the cursed ruby?"
